The NYT Tech Guild announced its strike Monday, after setting November 4 as its deadline months earlier. The workers represented provide software support and data analysis for the Times, on the business side of the outlet. Picketers demonstrated in front of the NYT building in New York as negotiations continued. Meanwhile, on X, formerly known as Twitter, Perplexity’s CEO offered to step in for the striking workers. Many on X immediately castigated Srinivas for acting as a scab — a derogatory term for people willing to perform the jobs of striking workers. It is widely considered a disreputable behavior in matters of labor and equity.

Scientists in Florida are taking lightning research to the next level — literally launching rockets into storm clouds to watch how bolts form. Each rocket trails a thin copper wire, creating a pathway for lightning to follow. When a strike hits, the wire superheats and bursts into brilliant blue-green light, while powerful winds twist the bright white bolts into surreal shapes. The result? Rare, almost cinematic footage that reveals just how wild and unpredictable our atmosphere can be. Via: @uflorida #weather #lightning #photography #florida #explore #viral

Most people don’t survive plane crashes, particle beams, atomic bombs, or lightning strikes. But these seven did — and their stories changed what we thought the human body could endure. A man whose head was pierced by a proton beam. A woman who fell 33,000 feet from the sky. A railroad worker shot through the skull by an iron rod. A survivor of both atomic bombs. The only person ever hit by a meteorite. A girl alone at sea after her family was murdered. And a ranger struck by lightning seven different times. They lived through disasters no one should walk away from — yet they did. 📚 SOURCES • Soviet Particle Institute Archives – Bugorski Case • Guinness World Records – Vesna Vulović • Harvard Medical Museum – Phineas Gage • Japanese National Archives – Tsutomu Yamaguchi • Smithsonian Museum – Ann Hodges Meteorite • LIFE Magazine – Terry Jo Rescue Photos • Guinness Records – Roy Sullivan Lightning Strikes

🤖👀 Michael Burry, famous for predicting the 2008 housing crash, is now betting big against the AI boom. His fund, Scion Asset Management, disclosed $1.1 billion in put options against Nvidia ($186.6M) and Palantir ($912M), together making up about 80% of his portfolio’s exposure. The filings don’t reveal strike prices or expirations, so the exact nature of the bets is unclear. Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp dismissed the move as “crazy,” confident AI skeptics will be proven wrong. Why it matters: This could be the first real stress test for AI stock valuations, and the question now is whether Burry is early again… or right again. #ai #artificialintelligence #aitools #aihacks #chatgpt #tech #technology

This will be the third mass protest to defend university funding against Argentine President Javier Milei’s austerity policies.
